AFAIK, everything in Linux is case-sensitive.
Reason behind not being able to make user Mario is that user names do not
generally contain upper case letters. You can --force it, though.

But it isn't a good idea.  According to the RFC's email addresses are not
supposed to be case-sensitive.  This means that some MTA's may confound
mario and Mario.
